Nikon’s Center of Excellence in super-resolution STORM imaging at ICFO is a unique partnership between ICFO - The Institute of Photonic Sciences and Nikon Instruments Europe. Focusing on STORM super-resolution technology, the center hosts a groundbreaking Nikon motorized inverted microscope ECLIPSE Ti-E with STORM (N-STORM) to push ICFO’s ongoing cutting edge research in this area. This fruitful partnership is being facilitated by Dr. Melike Lakadamyali, group leader of the Advanced Fluorescence Imaging and Biophysics group at ICFO and her extensive expertise in STORM.

The N-STORM microscope system has been developed by Nikon through a licensing agreement with Harvard University granting Nikon the rights to use the Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM) technology.
